Everyone I deal with (family, friends, co-workers,business associates et al) all say that this is now all about Rev Al. Perhaps has been so for awhile now.
Think about the comments reported the other day.
"We are doing this to get the attention of the Federal officials"
Now since when does Rev Al not have anyone's phone number to arrange a meeting?
Since when does he not have to ability to have a press conference at the drop of a quarter?
This is all about his face time.
He gets his face in the cameras.
So the Civil Right section of the Dept of Justice has to say, in public that they are meeting.
And Rev Al gets to make sure that he gets face time with all the politicians.
And remember, we have an election coming up. Who ever the two are, they will be coming to his court for face time.
And Sean and his family and friends are just now tools to be used.
I find that a shame.
And remember, even if the DoJ does start a file, nothing is going to happen for awhile.
This thread will have to be dug up.
Just MVHO.
P.S.: Rev Al said that he will shut down the NYC again in 7-10 days.
Next Wednesday looks good.

it's only about AL if you LET IT be about Bell.
I am not sure how old you are Jon, but this is the same tactics that Civil Rights Marchers used back in the 60's when there was injustice, people marched and protested to make sure that they were not forgotten. Altho I disagree with some of what Rev Al does, I feel that this time he is on point. Why? Because Sean Bell and co. could so easliy become back page news especially and unfortunately with their background. And if that happens, it could happen again and frankly, people are tired...liek I said earlier, 5 in 10 and something is NOT right and the only thing that happens is the city awards the family millions....those milliosn aint gonna bring that loved one back...if anything, that money is hush money which allows it to happen again and again. And it's time for some accountability...remember what I said awhile back, out of all these cases...only ONE cop was ever convicted. My co workers and I were talking about this today at work and some of them are still pissed and we keep coming back to teh basic question: How can some men get gunned down by 50 bullets and no one is punished?
We don't like the answer that is given and the more people continue to be silent the more it will keep happening...Al is doing the smart thing similar like what he did in Jena...using a non violent form of keeping Bell in the news until something is done to correct this atrocity
Hybrid Mode
